Becks1818 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Hey guys Last week I had my engine go on my 2011 LGT. Wasn't beating on it at the time nor have I beaten on it really since I've owned the car. Could have been a previous owner issue. I've always kept the car well maintained. The car is currently stage 2. I have purchased a JDM EJ255 engine that came out of a 2012 Legacy GT from Japan. Maybe the first JDM swap for this year? Below is what I have coming for the car and some services being done for my "mini build". She should be a lot of fun when it's done! All work being done at NV Auto in Hamilton Ontario, Canada.

GTEASER Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I would be interested in your surplus set of headers and turbo. GTEASER's 2012 Legacy GT - Sold GTEASER's 2009 XTeaser - Sold GTEASER's 1992 Legacy SS - Sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Becks1818 Posted October 25, 2017 Author Share Posted October 25, 2017 I would be interested in your surplus set of headers and turbo.Noted! I may keep the turbo to be sent out to BNR for an 18g retrofit. Headers shouldn't be a problem though.

SpidermanMTL Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Dam you gteaser and your quickness.. and he's in Canada.... If Gteaser doesn't grab the turbo, I'd be interested.

In the 3 years owning my FG LGT I've only seen 3 others! I wouldn't be surprised if our production numbers in Canada are the same or less than the US at 2000.

GTEASER Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Just what you need. more parts. lolHeaders and turbo were the only thing missing from that spare motor I picked up. Once I have those, I can actually move forward with my Monster build. Lol!

islandborn Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Let the fun begin! Enjoy. But be wise on the saying - "pay to play". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Becks1818 Posted November 1, 2017 Author Share Posted November 1, 2017 Let the fun begin! Enjoy. But be wise on the saying - "pay to play".Agreed. I'm overly focused on upgrading all the parts that keep my setup reliable. New oil pick up, new Sti oil pump (debating on getting it blue printed), fuel and cooling. I want to make good reliable power. I can't afford to drop another massive amount of money to rebuild my daily again. We are expecting our first in a few weeks! Baby boy In a couple years I'll invest in a forged bottom end. The financial hit won't be nearly as bad now that my top end is refreshed/mini built lol Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A_A_ron Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Clearly you are meant to stack the manifolds for triple protection. That's how it works. I would know. My father was an EJ. As for the rest of this build, Dis gon b gud Build Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk Since I would assume you are using the TGVs you actually do have an extra but the intake gaskets are O-ring type gaskets since the intake is plastic. https://www.buyautoparts.com/data/all_images/MS19516-MH.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Becks1818 Posted November 3, 2017 Author Share Posted November 3, 2017 Another part came in today! The Depot TMIC. It's massive!! Beautiful quality too. I'll take pictures of it beside the stock intercooler sometime. In the meantime here it is beside a PS4 controller for scale.
